For starters, you would need to share a good deal more than that bare fact before anyone could begin providing you with any useful advice.
What McCoy family? I just did a search on the surname at https://www.familysearch.org/search/ and got over two million "results" on records available on this website alone!* There must be many thousands of McCoy families spread across the globe.
We need at least a time period and country, then, ideally, states / counties where you believe your McCOY family is likely to have resided in the past. From providing that, you would be far more likely to receive helpful advice on how and where specifically to look, and - from there - how to use or record any relevant information you are able to gather.
